Man vs Wild is back on Discovery Channel for its sixth season.

The heart-pounding episodes featured survival expert and extreme adventurer Bear Grylls, who is left stranded in different regions of the world, and tasked with finding his way back to civilization.

This season, Bear will travel to remote locales around the globe, including Norway, Borneo and Scotland’s Cape Wrath, sharing invaluable survival strategies all along the way.

The new season kicked off Thursday, February 17 at 9PM ET/PT in Arizona, where Bear Grylls transforms into a one man high speed glider with a cutting edge wingsuit and flies into the Arizona Sky Islands.

Bear shows viewers how to find water in the parched desert landscape, builds a sand-buggy from a wrecked aircraft and crosses heart-stopping rock drops.
